Hull City have launched a late bid to sign Liverpool winger Harry Wilson ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline.

Nigel Adkins is desperate to add fresh width to his relegation-threatened City squad and earlier today was left frustrated as Newcastle United’s Rolando Aarons opted to join Italian side Hellas Verona ahead of the Tigers.

The focus has quickly been switched to Wilson and City are hopeful a deal can be struck to land the 20-year-old in the closing hours of the window.
